A 29 years old patient was sent to our Outpatient Clinic of Endocrinology presenting clinic of hypercortisolism. Laboratorial study: High urinary free cortisol (UFC); serum cortisol - 25 microg/dl (8 am) (5-25) and 20 microg/dL (11pm); ACTH - 20 pg/mL (9-52) (8 am) and 14 pg/mL (11 pm); serum cortisol after dexamethasone suppression test: 14,9 mg/dL; CRH test: elevation of ACTH; Pituitary MRI: microadenoma; abd...

Deflazacort: a possible alternative in corticosteroid allergy

The CTLA4 +49 A/G polymorphism is not associated with susceptibility to type 1 ...

CTLA4 genetic polymorphisms have been associated with type 1 diabetes. We genotyped 207 patients and 249 controls for the most frequently investigated polymorphism of the CTLA4 gene (+49A/G (rs231775)). No significant differences were observed, suggesting that this polymorphism is not strongly associated with type 1 diabetes in the Portuguese population.

Lack of association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with susceptibilit...

The vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene is a candidate gene for susceptibility to autoimmune disorders. Association studies of VDR polymorphisms and risk of type 1 diabetes often produced conflicting results in different ethnic backgrounds. The aim of this study was to test for association between common VDR polymorphisms and the genetic susceptibility to type 1 diabetes in the Portuguese population. We genotyped 207...

Carcinoma anaplásico da tiróide: análise retrospectiva de 12 casos

Anaplastic thyroid tumor is a rare tumor and constitutes 5 to 10% of thyroid carcinomas. Is one of the most aggressive solid tumors and the prognosis is always fatal with a mean survival of 3 to 7 months. The current therapeutics are scarce and inefficacious. A retrospective analysis was performed in 12 clinical cases of anaplastic thyroid tumor observed at the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metaboli...

24-hour arterial pressure study and diabetic neuropathy and angiopathy of the l...

To study the circadian variation of BP in diabetics with chronic late complications (autonomic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy and macroangiopathy of the lower limbs).We studied 35 NIDDM patients, 22 male and 13 female, with a mean age of 62.17 +/- 8.66 years, all with hypertension (HBP) or with BP levels close to normal, many of them under anti-hypertensive therapy (mean BP in clinical measurements: 164 +/- ...

Craniocerebral imaging in children with short stature.

To analyse the type and frequency of cranial CT and NMR imaging anomalies in children of short stature. Patients and Interventions: We studied 57 children of short stature with a mean age (+/-SD) of 10.1 +/- 3.8 years, 34 boys and 23 girls, all of them with auxometric criteria of GH deficiency. After studying the pituitary function and determination of karyotype in the girls, the children were classified in to ...
